Curried Shrimp Biryani
Dannnnnnnnnng ittttttttt. I’m sick. It hit me like a ton of bricks at 10am as I was sitting in a computer lab for a training on Microsoft Teams (threw that in there for my sister-in-law). All of a sudden, my nose was running off my face and I was dodging between computer desk stations to…
Meaty Mushroom Marinara Sauce
For a long time, I refused to eat tomato sauce. I ate my pasta plain and when I got pizza, I would carefully separate the cheese from the crust, scrape off all the sauce, and then reassemble each slice. Even now, I’m still picky about tomato sauce. My pasta sauce needs to be full of…
Easy Chickpea Pot Pie
